"I don’t have a stick in the fire either way about this landfill they are putting in, but I don’t see how much more contaminated it could possibly be by what’s already been put in by Monsanto. And I haven’t heard anybody say a word about the existing landfill that we have that is right on the river. Think about that."

"This is to the person complaining about the cops being at CA. They are at Columbia Central High School every day."

"There was an article from Aug. 26, "County to hear 845-acre landfill proposal" has information about some of the so-called benefits of a mega-dump. The letter also included an economic impact analysis for Maury County that projects the landfill could add 162 new jobs and $1.8 million in annual revenue through taxes and tipping fees. Now, it does say it could add 162 new jobs. Just where those jobs will be is not stated. I am sure some of them will be in the Denver area, not here. Also, it says revenue through taxes and tipping fees; Who pays those taxes and tipping fees?"

"Gene Lyons’ column in the paper about the insurance companies raising your rates on health insurance is exactly what I’ve been thinking all along. They probably like Obamacare because it gives them an excuse to raise their rates. And by the way, who owns most of these insurance companies and all the other businesses in this country?"

"Our family had insurance we were 100 percent happy with for the last 12 years. We were cancelled two days ago because it didn’t meet Obama’s standards even though we were 100 percent satisfied. To get the same coverage through Obamacare, it’s costing us $6,200 more a year. And you dare say we are stupid to have been satisfied with what we had and selfish for not wanting to pay $6,200 more?"
